2 17/01/18 Romeo and Juliet Revision Ques6on Write a definieon of aggression Aggression is forcefulness, a readiness to a]ack and feelings of anger that result in hosele or violent behaviour. Think of 5 places in the play where male aggression is shown 1. Fight between servants (1.1) 2. Tybalt is angry at Romeo for a]ending the ball (1.5) 3. Tybalt kills MercuEo.

3 Act 1 Scene 1 SAMPSON My naked weapon is out: quarrel, I will back thee. GREGORY I will frown as I pass by, and let them take it as they list. SAMPSON Nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them; which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it. ABRAHAM Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? SAMPSON I do bite my thumb, sir. ABRAHAM Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? SAMPSON No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir. GREGORY Do you quarrel, sir? ABRAHAM Quarrel sir! no, sir. SAMPSON If you do, sir, I am for you: I serve as good a man as you. The Servants quarrel over the honour, reputaeon and status of their respeceve families. The conflict sets the tone for the deaths that occur later. RepeEEon of Sir shows sarcasm. Naked weapon could refer to a dagger. out of its sheath or could be a sexual pun showing links between love and violence Rhetorical queseons create assereve and confrontaeonal tone. bite my thumb provocaeve gesture

4 Act 1 Scene 5 TYBALT It fits, when such a villain is a guest: I'll not endure him. CAPULET: He shall be endured: What, goodman boy! I say, he shall: go to; Am I the master here, or you? go to. You'll not endure him! God shall mend my soul! You'll make a mueny among my guests! You will set cock-a-hoop! You'll be the man! TYBALT PaEence perforce with wilful choler meeeng Makes my flesh tremble in their different greeeng. I will withdraw: but this intrusion shall Now seeming sweet convert to bi]er gall. Tybalt displays hoselity towards Romeo. Capulet calms his aggression by warning him. Tybalt suggests he will get revenge at a later date. Am I master here or you? Rhetorical queseon shows Capulet s power to calm Tybalt s aggression. Now seeming sweet convert to bi]er gall suggests Tybalt will be aggressive in the future.

5 Act 3 Scene 1 TYBALT Romeo, the hate I bear thee can afford No be]er term than this,--thou art a villain. ROMEO Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee Doth much excuse the appertaining rage To such a greeeng: villain am I none; Therefore farewell; I see thou know'st me not. TYBALT Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw. ROMEO I do protest, I never injured thee, But love thee be]er than thou canst devise, Till thou shalt know the reason of my love: And so, good Capulet,--which name I tender As dearly as my own,--be saesfied. MERCUTIO O calm, dishonourable, vile submission! Alla stoccata carries it away. Tybalt, you rat-catcher, will you walk? Tybalt tries to start a fight with Romeo. Romeo a]empts to calm Tybalt s aggression. Disappointed by this, MercuEo aggressively defends Romeo s honour. Thou art a villain insuleng language Turn and draw antagonisec imperaeve love thee be]er calming the situaeon using soler language MercuEo uses rhetorical queseons and exclamatory sentences to show his anger and aggression.

6 Act 3 Scene 5 JULIET Good father, I beseech you on my knees, Hear me with paeence but to speak a word. CAPULET Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday, Or never aler look me in the face: Speak not, reply not, do not answer me; My fingers itch. Wife, we scarce thought us blest That God had lent us but this only child; But now I see this one is one too much, And that we have a curse in having her: Out on her, hilding! Capulet portrays male aggression by verbally a]acking his daughter and threatening to hit her and disown her for refusing to follow his wish for her to marry Paris. Young baggage reference to her being a burden on him. Disobedient wretch negaeve imagery emphasises his aggression My fingers itch threat of violence hilding refers to a prosetute

7 Act 5 Scene 3 PARIS Stop thy unhallow'd toil, vile Montague! Can vengeance be pursued further than death? Condemned villain, I do apprehend thee: Obey, and go with me; for thou must die. ROMEO I must indeed; and therefore came I hither. Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man; Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone; Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth, Put not another sin upon my head, By urging me to fury: O, be gone! By heaven, I love thee be]er than myself; For I come hither arm'd against myself: Stay not, be gone; live, and herealer say, A madman's mercy bade thee run away. PARIS I do defy thy conjuraeons, And apprehend thee for a felon here. ROMEO Wilt thou provoke me? then have at thee, boy! They fight Paris and Romeo fight because they both feel they have the right to be next to Juliet s tomb and neither will back down. Romeo kills Paris in the ba]le. Tempt not a desperate man Romeo offers Paris a warning about his unstable state of mind. come arm d against myself shows Romeo plans on killing himself.

9 REVIEW: Conclusion: Why was Shakespeare s purposes for including so much male aggression in the play? To criecise the male-dominated society of the day? To show the link between love and violence? To show conflict between humans is inevitable?
